Blisters

Blisters are a classic case where prevention is a lot easier than cure.  Blisters form due to friction between your skin and your shoe.  Poor fitting shoes, or shoes that don’t conform perfectly to your feet, will increase the chance of blister formation.

When new shoes are purchased, wear them for half an hour, take them off and check for any red marks.  These red marks will indicate where blisters may form.

A small piece if rigid sports tape placed over the susceptible area will work wonders in preventing blisters.

If blisters do occur, your podiatrist can help provide speedy resolve.
